        I fail to understand why Alaska airlines would ask anyone, gay or straight, couple or single, who is ALREADY SEATED, to give up their premium seat for someone else who boarded afterward. Poor customer service all around.

        Yep. This is a huge black eye and deserves to be. It casts Alaska in the worst possible light, discriminating against a gay couple. There was no excuse for this. These men PAID FOR THEIR SEATS and were already in them.

        The couple that arrived second should have been separated, no matter their sex or sexual orientation.

        This has nothing to do with discrimination. Just decided to pull the "gay card". Just self entitled diva attitude. #BeHumble

        Yep - the fact that the airline said they were separating them so a couple could sit together has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that they were not traditional couple.... 🙄

        Yeah, and i would of told them to fuck off! If they purchased those seats, its up to them if they want to give them up to someone else.

        Even if they weren't a couple, why should either of them have to give up their seats?

        But then my second thought is why did the gay couple get up in the first place they pay for the tickets I would have told the airline go f*** themselves or refund my money and then slap a lawsuit for discrimination

        Did the airline know they were a gay couple or two separate passengers? Also, the gay couple didn’t speak up?
